Scanning For Channels

feature to scan for channels. Refer to your owner's manual for instructions.

Digital TV

To receive digital TV channels, a TV with an ATSC or Clear QAM tuner is required. All TVs produced after 2007 are able to receive digital TV channels, but some HD-ready TVs might require an external tuner. Consult your owner’s manual for more information. Cable TV set-top boxes are not required to view cable channels on digital TVs at this time.

Streaming Content to Your TV With Roku

The easiest way to watch content on your television is to connect a coax cable from your wall to your TV. But did you know you can watch streaming content, including your on-demand and recorded DVR content, on your TV using a Roku device? Simply add the Xfinity Stream channel/app to your Roku & login to watch.

TV Everywhere

TV Everywhere provides the freedom to watch when and where you want, on the most convenient device, while on or off UMN internet.

Rather than using Radius Streaming TV apps to access content, you’ll use apps provided by the network themselves. Many of these apps are available on streaming devices such as Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and XBOX. For example, if you want to watch ESPN on your Apple TV or iPhone, simply download the ESPN app from the Apple App Store and log in using your UMN credentials.

Premium Channels and Packages

Premium channels, sports packages, and additional content is not part of Radius TV but can be purchased separately and billed directly to your personal credit card. Information about additional channels can be found on the “Premium Video” tab on the Xfinity On Campus website.

Need Assistance?

Having trouble scanning for TV channels? Before you ask for help, double check that the power cord and coaxial cable are secure.

If you are having issues and have already made sure that the cord connections are secure, you might need to purchase an external TV tuner. Please note that TVs made before 2007 might not be able to receive digital channels.
